ZeroOne Terminal is a game designed to build startup intuition through history. You move through the years 2000–2020, meeting founders inspired by real companies that either broke out or disappeared.

To evaluate them, you use a distilled version of Peter Thiel’s investor lenses—Timing, Engineering, Monopoly, and the rest. The aim is not realism but recognition: seeing patterns that repeat across decades.

A Thiel-like mentor introduces each era, explains the environment, and points out what you missed or understood. His role is context and narrative, helping you develop your own judgment.

Every startup is grounded in historical markets and outcomes, then adapted into a compact, playable form.

The Developer

Created by Patrik Cihal and built entirely in Rust with Dioxus. The goal is simple: let players learn from two decades of startups by making decisions, not reading theory.
